# Insight Deck | Mapping Important Business Services and Vulnerabilities

**Read Time:** 1 min | December 07, 2021

In our recent [Insight Deck](https://share.hsforms.com/1tkVYIJVET5mK47JAtVn4CA3mkmc), FourthLine discussed phase 1 of implementing a compliant Operational Resilience framework - defining "intolerable harm" and selecting or de-selecting your Important Business Services(IBS) to form part of the framework.

In our latest Insight Deck, we discuss phase 2 of developing an Operational Resilience Framework - what to consider, according to the regulators, when mapping your important business services (IBS) and what to consider when identifying potential vulnerabilities.  Download the latest deck [here>](https://share.hsforms.com/1DkQZo5qKTKunHJO6P8RzKg3mkmc).

There are three main objectives for Phase 2 of an Operational Resilience Programme:

1. Define how resilient you want your business to be
2. Map the identified Important Business Services (IBS)
3. Measure the current level of resilience of the Business Services and identify associated gaps and vulnerabilities
